NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 18

13 more bowls actually caused more than half of the teams to change position this week, with San Jose State going from #19 to #10, and all teams higher staying put. Like I said, the movers were too numerous to mention, but I couldn't resist investigating why Colorado and UNLV swapped spots at #115 and #116.

UNLV played both Air Force and Minnesota, two teams who lost this week. Colorado played Fresno State and UCLA, who also lost this week, but also played Arizona State, bowl winners. Apparently this was enough to tick their strength of schedule up just enough to put them ahead of not 4, but now 5 FBS teams.
